Update Ryan

As some of you well know for the last 6 weeks we've been going to different locations around town and doing Bible studies.  Our target age group has been 9-13.  During the six weeks they were presented the Gospel and various teaching on the fundamentals of the faith.  I think anything can be taught its just the method that you teach.  I am grateful to Richard who translated for all the gatherings.  So last week was the final week.  So how did it go?  Well in all locations we had multiple kids come to Christ.  Secondly from two of our studies we have 15 kids joining us in the main church.  The vision of these Bible studies was firstly exposure to the Gospel and the second was getting them to come to the church to join the others in Kwo Manyen.  I do believe that both of those things have been accomplished.  There were many times when I told the Lord that if he wasn't going before me I wasn't going.  It was an awesome time and I hope that every school break we can do this.  I used to be a huge fan of the youth conference, and I still think they are beneficial.  However I would rather be in a community and get the opportunity of meeting them where they are at, at little to no cost.  I want to thank all of you for making this possible.  The many who support by prayer and financial giving, I wouldn't be able to do this work had it not been for you.  Please keep all the kids in the different areas in prayer, our desire is for them to join us at the church.  So as we end up one program others are in the works to get started.  One of them being school outreaches, again going for the same age ranges.  So pray for favor with the schools.
   Okay so maybe you want to hear a little about the house.  Well its almost finished.  The grass should go on this week.  The interiors walls will be plastered and door frames added next week, then the next week will be the finish on the floor and then I'll move in.  I want to thank everyone again.  I had only put aside 3/4 of the money for the house.  So far the cost has gone far beyond that and God has provided every step of the way.  So thank you for answering His call, whether through prayer or through financial support.
